A report on a cultural heritage impact assessment for the proposed Brits Extension 161 Township, Northwest Province
Summary
Archaetnos cc was requested by Landscape Dynamics to conduct a cultural heritage
impact assessment for the proposed Brits extension 161 township. This is in the
town of Brits in the Northwest Province.
A survey of the available literature was undertaken in order to obtain background
information regarding the area. This was followed by the field survey which was
conducted according to generally accepted HIA practices, aimed at locating all
possible objects, sites and features of cultural significance in the area of the
proposed development.
During the survey no sites of cultural heritage significance was located in the area to
be developed. Therefore the development may continue.
It should be noted however that the subterranean presence of archaeological and/or
historical sites, features or artifacts is always a distinct possibility. Care should
therefore be taken when the development commences that if any of these are
discovered, a qualified archaeologist be called in to investigate.
